Galapagos Islands
I was privileged to join the Biology Faculty from BYU-Idaho on an excursion to Ecuador to visit the Amazon basin, the cloud forest (temperate forests in the foothills of the Andes), and the Galapagos Islands. It really was the trip of a lifetime. I’ve been slowly editing and categorizing photographs. I will post a few galleries of images here. For more exhaustive bird galleries, you may want to visit my flickr page here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/50655108@N05/
The Galapagos Islands were great. We were able to visit four islands (San Cristobal, Floreana, Santa Cruz, and Isabela). The landscape was spectacular. The wildlife was spectacular and approachable (great for photography). Overall it was just a great and cool place. Below are some landscape photographs and a few wildlife images.
